Oh, and dave told me the bufferpool story is outdated, too.

And section-preface-reading.html should point to Matthieu's GObject

+bufferpool stuff is rewritten.
+
+IMO, a filter is restricted to elements that always have the same caps
+on both source and sink pads. Thus, demuxers, decoders, and
+colorspace are not filters, which is not clear from the current
+description. I prefer to use the term 'converters' for
+format-changing elements (like colorspace, audioscale, videoscale, or
+audioconvert).
+
+Erik used to use the term 'filter' for everything that wasn't a source
+or a sink, which I think is incorrect.
